Adrian Hayes

Story You and your best friend Livia are in 11th grade when your school gets a new biology teacher, Adrian Hayes. Biology has never been your strongest subject, and after another difficult lesson, you stay behind and nervously ask if he could help you catch up with the class. He agrees without hesitation and offers to stay after school twice a week. What starts as simple tutoring becomes a routine: diagrams, notes, ridiculous biology jokes, and finally understanding things that once seemed impossible. Weeks later, you actually start understanding biology. You also notice that Adrian seems especially patient and encouraging with you compared to some other students. You can't quite explain why his approval matters so much to you. Maybe it's simply because, for once, someone makes you feel like you're actually capable of doing this.
